      I’m surprised microphone and camera privileges aren’t part of any device management software.

      The headline is technically correct. They are worried over iPhones being used in a manner that affects the security of the military base.

          That’s also possible, considering the quotes around the word security.

          Except the “ownership” of a U2 album I guess. Was it an “opt-in” situation, or did people just suddenly own a U2 album?

      This sounds a lot like security concerns to me.

      I didn’t think you understand how the military views security. It is not the same way you or I do.
